Without a doubt I think the biggest storyline for this season so far is the hot start that the Toronto North Stars had. They started the season at the top of the league having an undefeated streak of 10 games. Right there with them was the Texas Renegades that everyone expected, but the big surprise to start the season was the rough start by the rest of the teams in the Great Lakes Division. In particular, the Buffalo Stampede were getting beat by the Baltimore Platoon and the Tampa Bay Barracuda. However, this big storyline continues as the Great Lake teams such as the Buffalo Stampede, Chicago Syndicate, and Hamilton Steelheads fight back to where the public expected them to be. Similarly, the losses began coming in for the North Stars although they still remain at the top of the Conference, tied with the Steelhawks at 57 points. Unsurprisingly, the Buffalo Stampede and Chicago Syndicate are right behind at 53 and 48 points respectively.

The Great Lakes Division as a whole is definitely the biggest storyline this season as everyone is looking at it knowing one of the 4 teams are going to be out of the playoffs even though they stand 1, 2, 3, 4 in the conference at the time that I am writing this.
